_________________________

"The game's title blurb claims that Mega Typhoon is "the fastest arcade action game ever made for the Amiga computer". The game is indeed fast, and the action is as frenetic as anything you've seen on the Amiga in a long while... but the in-game graphics are pretty basic and colourless - chunky sprites are something we shouldn't be seeing on today's Amiga. The sound is sadly lacking with only a few effects for explosions and lasers and a racey-but-unobtrusive soundtrack at the beginning.
Mega Typhoon is a playable game, it's just that I've seen the Amiga do better with Hybris, Battle Squadron, SWIV or Xenon 2 - all of which were released ages ago..."
